Aigues-Vives, Ariège, Midi-Pyrénées, France

Beautiful period house in a village with boulangerie, store and commerces. Situated between the towns of Mirepoix and Laroque d'Olmes with their restaurants, supermarkets and bars, a short drive to the ski slopes and Mediterranean beaches and easy access to the airports at Carcassonne and Toulouse, this property boasts an ideal location for both a holiday home and year round living.

Structually solid, with a roof in a good state, this magnificent home offers a village location along with a private garden, garage and workshops. Original features such as tiled and wooden floors fill the house. The flexible accommodation offers a large entrance hall, huge séjour, kitchen (in need of renovation), dining room, two salons, a music room, shower room + WC and separate toilet to the ground floor.

To the first floor, there is currently one shower room and toilet which would benefit from modernising despite it's quirky period charm, an office with balcony, and then 6 bedrooms, 2 of which are accessed via other bedrooms, and 3 of which have access to dressing rooms, making it easy to convert several rooms into additional bathrooms.

To the second floor, 3 attic rooms connect and could be converted into further space such as a games or hobby room.

There is also an large garage with workshop above, which ccould be converted to a gite or used as a practical space.

To the exterior of the property, a large terrace leads to a pretty lawned garden edged with trees, flowers and shrubs and enclosed by a stone wall. In the corner, an entrance leads on to the old village bread oven, which would lend itself to the most incredible pizza oven and barbecue area!

Whilst the property is crying out for love and life to be breathed into this former family home once more, the house is in a good condition and could be comfortably lived in whilst the renovations and decoration take place.
